When asked why Adi wanted to reboot Power Rangers into this dark version, he said according to io9: “When I was a child I had two favorite TV shows the X-Men animated series and Power Rangers. I eventually came to the realization that high school students weaponized to fight an intergalactic threat would turn those kids into some seriously disturbed adults with severe PTSD.”
